House Hunters Season 2016 Episode 118 Des Moines Couple Seeks Vintage Home Before Baby Arrives

A Des Moines couple is on the hunt for a vintage home before their baby arrives. The couple, who are both teachers, have a budget of $275,000 and are looking for a home with a lot of character, as well as a large backyard for outdoor entertaining. They are open to a variety of styles, from Craftsman to Colonial to Victorian.

Their real estate agent takes them to three very different homes. The first is a historic bungalow that has been beautifully restored. The couple loves the original woodwork and built-ins, but are concerned about having enough space for their growing family.

The second home is a mid-century modern gem that has been updated with all the latest amenities. The couple is impressed with the open floor plan and stylish finishes, but are uncertain about the home's location on a busy street.

Finally, the couple is shown a Victorian home that has been partially restored. Although it needs some work, the couple falls in love with the home's original details, including stained glass windows and a grand front porch. However, they are worried about the cost of repairs and renovation.

Ultimately, the couple must weigh the pros and cons of each home before making a decision. Will they choose the historic bungalow, the modern mid-century, or the Victorian with potential? Tune in to find out!
